0.3. 0.3 A uniform solid disk of radius R and mass M is free to rotate on a frictionless pivot through a point on its rim (see figure below). The disk is released from rest in the position shown by the copper-colored circle. a)what is the speed of its center of mass when the disk reaches the position indicated by the dashed circle? (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g.) b) What is the speed of the lowest point on the disk in the dashed position?

About the center the Moment of inertia is 2 MR2 Parallel axis theorem will give the moment of inertia about the axis in consideration: I = 2 MR2 + MR 2 = 3 2 MR2 5
A frictionless rotation implies energy conservation which can be written as: E = 0 Ki = P 2 Iω2 0 = ( MgR) 2 3 2 MR2 V 2 R 2 = MgR V 2 = 4 3 gr Rg V = 2 3 b) The lowest point on the disk and the center have the same angular speed but different speeds (located at different distances from the rotation axis) ω = ω V 2R = V R V = 2V Rg = 4 3 c) If it was a hoop instead of a disk, the only change will be on the moment of inertia which is MR 2 about the center and MR 2 + MR 2 = 2MR 2 about the axis through the point on the rim: 2 Iω2 0 = ( MgR) 2 2MR2 V 2 R 2 = MgR V 2 = gr V = Rg 6
0.4. 0.4 A uniform solid disk of radius R and mass M is free to rotate on a frictionless pivot through a point on its rim (see figure below). The disk is released from rest in the position shown by the copper-colored circle. a)at the instant the rod is horizontal, find its angular speed. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g for the acceleration of gravity.) b)at the instant the rod is horizontal, find the magnitude of its angular acceleration.

(Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g for the acceleration of gravity.) a) The center of mass of the rod will change its height by L 2 as the rod moves from vertical to horizontal. Using energy conservation and taking into account 7
that the moment of inertia of the rod about its end is ml2 3, we should have : 2 Iω2 0 = mg L 2 ml 2 2 3 ω2 = mg L 2 ω 2 = 3g 2 ω = 3g L b) In Newton 2 nd law for rotation, only gravity will be involved since the force on the axis contributes zero: τ = Iα c) Mg L = ml2 2 3 α 3g α = 2L When the rod is horizontal, its overall acceleration a = a x i + a y j. It s easy to see that a x = a r and a y = a t, where a r and a t are the radial acceleration and tangential acceleration respectively. Similarly, a x = a r = V 2 r = rω 2 = L 2 = 3g 2 3g L a y = a t = dv dt = r dω dt = rα = L 3g 2 2L 8

0.5 As shown in the figure below, two blocks are connected by a string of negligible mass passing over a pulley of radius 0.220 m and moment of inertia I. The block on the frictionless incline is moving with a constant acceleration of magnitude a =.40 m/s2. (Let m = 3.5 kg, m 2 = 8.0 kg, and θ = 37.0.) From this information, we wish to find the moment of inertia of the pulley. a)what analysis model is appropriate for the blocks? b)what analysis model is appropriate for the pulley? c)from the analysis model in part (a), find the tension T. d) From the analysis model in part (a), find the tension T 2. e) From the analysis model in part (b), find a symbolic expression for the moment of inertia of the pulley in terms of the tensions T and T 2, the pulley radius r, and the acceleration a. f) Find the numerical value of the moment of inertia of the pulley. a) The two blocks are moving with the same constant acceleration. Therefore, the model that s appropriate is that of a particle under constant acceleration. b) The pulley is in rotation, its angular acceleration is constant because of the constant acceleration of the blocks. A particle under constant angular acceleration 0
0.5. is the appropriate model. c) Newton 2 nd Law for block m projected on the incline plane: T m g sin θ = m a T = m (a + g sin θ) = 3.5(.40 + 9.8 sin 37) = 98.5 N c) Newton 2 nd Law for block m projected on the vertical: m 2 g T 2 = m 2 a T 2 = m 2 (g a) = 8(9.8.40) = 5 N d) Newton s Law for the rotating pulley; taking the clockwise direction as positive : T 2 r T r = Iα = I a r I = (T 2 T )r 2 a = (5 98.5)0.222.40 =.82 N.m 2
0.6 A uniform solid disk and a uniform hoop are placed side by side at the top of an incline of height h. a)if they are released from rest and roll without slipping, which object reaches the bottom first? b)verify your answer by calculating their speeds when they reach the bottom in terms of h. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g for the acceleration of gravity.) a) It s the disk that will win the race. b) With no slipping taking place, the two objects will be in rotation and translation. Energy is conserved: Ki = P 2 Mv2 + 2 Iω2 = Mgh Mv 2 + I v2 R 2 = 2Mgh 2Mgh v = M + I R 2 For the disk I = MR2 2 and for the hoop I = MR 2 4 We finally get: v = 3 gh for the disk and v = gh for the hoop. The disk is definitely winning the race if we compare the two values. d) Newton s Law for the rotating pulley; taking the clockwise direction as positive : T 2 r T r = Iα = I a r 2
0.7. I = (T 2 T )r 2 a (5 98.5)0.222 =.40 =.82 N.m 2 0.7 A solid sphere is released from height h from the top of an incline making an angle θ with the horizontal. a)calculate the speed of the sphere when it reaches the bottom of the incline in the case that it rolls without slipping. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g for the acceleration of gravity.) b)calculate the speed of the sphere when it reaches the bottom of the incline in the case that it slides frictionlessly without rolling. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g for the acceleration of gravity.) c) Compare the time intervals required to reach the bottom in cases (a) and (b). a) With a moment of inertia of 2 5 mr2 for a solid sphere and using energy conservation: 2 mv2 + 2 Iω2 = mgh b). v2 2 mv2 + 2.2mr2 5 r 2 = mgh v = 0 7 gh In the case of no rolling, the rotation term 2 Iω2 = 0 and we simply have: 2 mv2 = mgh 3
v = 2gh c) In average the solid sphere will take a time interval of t = d v. The distance covered is the same and to compare between the times in the two cases we can evaluate t t 2 : t t 2 = v 2 = = v 2gh 0 7 gh 4 0 =.8 It takes more time when rolling takes place 4
0.8. 0.8 In the figure below, the hanging object has a mass of m = 0.45 kg; the sliding block has a mass of m 2 = 0.890 kg; and the pulley is a hollow cylinder with a mass of M = 0.350 kg, an inner radius of R = 0.020 0 m, and an outer radius of R 2 = 0.030 0 m. Assume the mass of the spokes is negligible. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface is µ k = 0.250. The pulley turns without friction on its axle. The light cord does not stretch and does not slip on the pulley. The block has a velocity of v i = 0.820 m/s toward the pulley when it passes a reference point on the table. a)use energy methods to predict its speed after it has moved to a second point, 0.700 m away. b)find the angular speed of the pulley at the same moment. a) The change in kinetic energy of the system {block m +block m 2 +pulley} is equal to the net work done on the system. Only friction on the block m 2 and gravitation force on block m have non-zero work. On the other hand, angular speed of the pulley is related to the sped of the objects ω = v R 2 and a pulley of a hollow cylinder shape has a moment of inertia of : 2 M(R2 + R2) 2 2 (m + m 2 )(vf 2 vi 2 ) + 2 I(ω2 f ωi 2 ) = m gh µ k m 2 g 2 (m + m 2 )(vf 2 vi 2 ) + 2 2 M(R2 + R2) 2 v2 f v2 i = m gh µ k m 2 g R 2 2 5
Rearranging should give : v f = vi 2 + With the given numerical values we get : b) The angular speed of the pulley : m gh µ k m 2 g 2 (m + m 2 ) + 2 M( + R2 R 2 2 ) v f =.54 m/s ω f = v f R 2 =.53 0.030 = 5.3 rad/s 6
